La Grande Vadrouille (1966) is set in occupied France and filmed at the Paris Opéra, the Grande Mosquée de Paris, the Hospices de Beaune, Meursault and villages of Burgundy. It follows British airmen and two civilians from Paris to the demarcation line.
This route follows the film's chase from the capital's baths and opera into Burgundy, using the real locations where Gérard Oury shot the scenes. Several stops can be visited; scenes set in one village were sometimes shot in another.
James Joyce's Ulysses is one ordinary day, 16 June 1904, in Dublin, told in eighteen episodes through Leopold Bloom, a Jewish advertisement canvasser, and Stephen Dedalus, who starts the day in a tower by the sea. This route walks the day in the order the novel runs it: from the Martello tower at Sandycove where it opens to Howth Head, where Molly Bloom's memory ends it with a yes.
Almost every stop is a place you can still stand in: the tower where Joyce stayed in 1904, the strand Stephen walks, the street of the chemist's where Bloom buys soap, the cemetery of the funeral, the pub where he eats his sandwich, the library where he passes between Stephen and Mulligan, the quay of the Ormond Hotel and the maternity hospital. The last stop is a recollection rather than a setting: the novel never says where on Howth Head the two of them lay.
